The Mojo’s Engine to Find New Life in Two Brand New Peugeot Bikes

At the ongoing Paris Motor Show, Peugeot which is now owned by Mahindra India unveiled two new bike concepts, the P2x Roadster and the P2x Cafe Racer. These two concept bikes will get the 300 cc engine seen in the Mahindra Mojo but would be heavily modified to be Euro-V compliant. Apart from complying to stricter emission norms, the engine which is developed by the Mahindra Racing team is rumoured to get a bump in power as well. The bike would go sale in Europe from 2020. Both the concepts carry a modern interpretation of retro styling.

The P2x Roadster, as its name suggests carries a vintage roadster design form with modern touches, while the P2x Cafe Racer follows a cafe racer style design form with a rear cowl. Both bikes share the same platform and even share switchgear, engine and transmission but offer two different riding styles, something which can be seen in the Royal Enfield twins. The bikes will also offer dual disc brakes along with dual channel ABS which is quite an important safety aid. The smaller 125 cc variant of the two bikes will also be made soon available in Europe.
